The best sign would be the Hindi letter 'R" with 'u" in the bottom crossed with '=".
I am not able to give the notation here though I have the digital format in Visio/ Word.
This will give an identity of our national language if used.

What I intended is very simillar to what Mr Ujjwol wrote. The symbols shown are irrelavant and not worthy of even considering. If you cna give me a mailing address I can give you the one I have created

Why not go for Devanagari रु ? This is far better than those symbols.
Maybe because there is a large number of people who can't read Devnagari?
